Schutz Building Services is a fast-growing business in the housing industry. Johan Schutz started the business three years ago and has worked hard to establish the firm. Johan has no accounting knowledge and simply keeps his invoices and receipts in a shoebox that he takes to his accountant once a year to be sorted out and turned into financial statements for tax purposes. Johan does not use financial statements for decision making. So long as he has cash in the bank, Johan is satisfied with how his business is operating. Unfortunately, Johans accountant has suddenly left the country and retired to South America. Johan is negotiating a contract with a supplier of building materials who wants to see his financial statements to ensure that Johan can meet his payments each month. Johan has asked you to prepare financial statements. Based on his last tax return and the contents of his shoebox for this year, you have established the following items.

Cash in the bank account $3800
